2024 Hyundai Santa Fe

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Santa Fe.

Transmission Automatic (AM-S8)

The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is equipped with an Automatic (AM-S8) transmission and returns an EPA-rated 20 city and 28 highway mpg for a 23 mpg combined figure. While this model year has generated 131 owner complaints and seven recalls—predominantly focused on the powertrain—these numbers represent a significant departure from the nameplate's 2017 peak of 941 complaints. Consequently, the 2024 iteration sits within a broader era of improved dependability for the Santa Fe, positioning it far closer to the historically low 28 complaints recorded for 2026 and indicating a positive shift in the vehicle's long-term reliability trajectory.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 48,000 mi; coolant every 24,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 24,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe shows 131 complaints and 7 recalls, placing it in a recent period where complaints are relatively low compared to historical peaks like 2017 (941) or 2007 (681), but its recall count is the highest since 2021 (also 7) and notably above 2023's single recall. The complaint trend across the generation has generally declined from earlier highs, though 2024's 131 complaints are slightly above 2025's 117 and well above 2026's 28, suggesting early-model-year teething issues. With zero investigations and 36 TSBs—the lowest since 2006—the data doesn't specify root causes for the recalls or top complaint areas (Power Train leading at 21), but the elevated recall count warrants caution. The 2024 is a first-year redesign, and while its complaint volume is moderate, the seven recalls indicate potential unresolved issues that later model years may address. Overall, this is a year to approach with caution; you may want to verify all recalls have been performed before purchase.
